What we do
The Ceres Accelerator aims to transform the practices and policies that govern capital markets to reduce the worst financial impacts of the climate crisis and promote the associated opportunities from these changes.Â
Ceres Accelerator for Sustainable Capital Markets
We educate and engage regulators, financial institutions, investors, and corporate boards to act on climate change as a systemic financial risk.
Financial regulation
We advocate for federal and state regulators to act on climate change as a systemic financial risk and implement systems-level change.
Banking
We mobilize banks, credit unions, and other depository institutions to measure and reduce their financial exposure to climate risks and leverage climate opportunities.
Disclosure
We educate companies, organize investors, and urge regulators to act on the need for meaningful climate-related financial data through standardized disclosure.
Insurance
We work with the U.S. insurance industry and its regulators to promote a proactive approach to the threat of climate change.
Board oversight
We advance corporate sustainability leadership at the board level and facilitate integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) oversight into every aspect of decision-making.
Retirement
We activate plans sponsors, retirement professionals, and federal regulators to make consideration of climate and other sustainability risks a priority in retirement plans.
Procurement
We advocate for the federal government to consider climate and other sustainability risks in purchasing decisions.
